Services, products and tips
Ring up a braiding session, a bottle of oil and a tip on one receipt, with prices held in KES and stock counts adjusted as you sell.
Salon POS system
A salon POS system that runs the till, the diary and the back office
One screen for the front desk: sell a service, take payment, print a receipt, and the day's reports, staff commission and client records update themselves.
What the till handles
M-Pesa STK push
Ask for payment on the client's phone from the sale itself. The transaction is tracked as pending and settles when Safaricom confirms it.
Receipts with a reference
Every sale gets a receipt number your client can quote later, printed or sent by message, so a query never becomes an argument.
Day close that adds up
Cash, card and M-Pesa totals for the day sit beside the sales list, so counting the drawer takes minutes instead of an hour.
Find any sale again
Search by receipt, client phone, date or staff member and open the original line items, including who did the work.
Roles that limit damage
Receptionists run sales and expenses, managers change pricing and payroll, and staff logins cannot reach the till at all.
What is included
- Bookings that hold — Take appointments from your public website, WhatsApp or the front desk. Tables, staff and busy slots are checked for you, so nothing is double-booked.
- Checkout and M-Pesa — Ring up services, retail products, tips and packages in seconds. Send an STK push, record cash or card, and hand over a printed or emailed receipt.
- Clients and loyalty — Every client carries their history, preferences and points. Reward visits automatically and redeem them at the till.
- Reports and payroll — Daily sales, expenses, service performance and staff commission in one place, with salary summaries and payout records.
- Your salon website — Services, pricing, photo gallery, opening hours, booking form and contact page published on your own address.
- Notifications and SMS — In-app alerts and SMS for new bookings, paid sales and website enquiries, each sent with your own gateway key.
- Staff roles and desk — Stylists, receptionists and managers each see what they need: their own commission, advances, leave and assigned tables.
- Multi-salon ready — Every salon runs in its own isolated tenant with separate staff, services, pricing, branding and payment keys.
A Saturday at the till
| Step | What happens in the POS |
|---|---|
| Client arrives | Open the booking or start a walk-in sale; the client record and loyalty balance load with it. |
| Add the work | Pick services and products. Commission for each line is calculated from the rate set for that service. |
| Take payment | Send an STK push, take cash or card, or apply loyalty points. The receipt is issued once paid. |
| Late or no payment | The sale stays pending with a reference. Press Check on the Sales page to reconcile it later. |
| Close the day | Daily summary shows sales by payment type, expenses recorded, and commission earned by each stylist. |
Common questions about the POS
Does the POS work offline?
It needs a connection to record a sale, but the pages are light and work on a phone hotspot. Pending M-Pesa payments are reconciled as soon as you are back online.
Can I record a sale paid later?
Yes. Save the sale with a payment method of pay-later, and mark it paid when the money arrives. It stays visible on the sales list until it is settled.
Can a stylist be paid per service and per product?
Commission is set per service, so a colour treatment and a beard trim can carry different percentages. Products can be left out of commission entirely.
Will my old client list move across?
Add clients with a name and phone number, and every future sale, booking and loyalty balance attaches to that record. Your receptionist can add them while a client waits.
